#Gavin Mafia theory
alynnl · 10 months
Text
I've had two different ideas about the Gavin brothers' backstory, and it might even be possible to combine them.
First idea: The Gavin family are a mob/mafia type of family in Europe, specifically Austria. Kristoph got himself and Klavier out of that situation when Klavier was young, so he wouldn't get caught up in the turf wars. He pulled strings to move to Germany, where they both lived together for some time before Klavier grew up and got a legal education of his own. Kristoph learned his shady ways from the crime family's go-to lawyer, and never quite broke those bad habits of forgery, blackmail and bribery. Klavier never found out about his brother's dark side until Turnabout Succession.
Second idea: Klavier and Kristoph's parents were killed in a hit and run car accident, leaving them in the care of their uncle, Klaus, who is their only surviving next of kin. Klaus is a prosecutor. He is strict, but fair and he does the best he can to balance his work and the raising of his late sister's children. Klavier goes through a phase of teenage rebellion that causes a rift between him and his uncle. In the meantime, Kristoph sees something on one of his early cases that he keeps bottled up. Something that shows him the darker side of humanity. The brothers move out of their uncle’s house, Klavier feeling like he has something to prove, and Kristoph with a secret he feel he cannot tell anyone.
If combined, perhaps Klaus Gavin is estranged from the Family and had to leave his home country to start a new life. Moving in with him is part of Kristoph’s plan to keep Klavier safe. Rather than dying in a car wreck, maybe the brothers’ birth parents either perish in another turf war, or they’re still sitting in life imprisonment after their home got raided by the Austrian authorities.
Klavier was shielded from a lot of the darkness in his family in this version of events. And maybe he feels regret he could not do the same for his brother.

Promptober Masterlist
So that I don’t spam everyone 😅 I will be updating this as I post the other stories, so check back in from time to time! For now, there’s just a few clues and teasers as to what you can expect... 👀
PROMPT ONE: Dragged - MCU Speaking Isn’t Easy 1933. Tony Stark is one of New York’s crime bosses, but when he develops a soft spot for local newsie, Peter Parker, the teenager suddenly finds himself the center of unwanted attention. Tony takes Peter in for his own safety, but when their casual friendship turns into something more familial, is Peter actually safer than he was before? (Mafia AU) Related works: With A Vengeance (see prompt 8)
PROMPT TWO: Injured - Overwatch The Sacrifice of Trust When Reinhardt and Brigitte find themselves pinned down and outnumbered in Numbani, Reinhardt is forced to confront everything he has to lose, and Brigitte gets a taste of what life is like for a hero of Overwatch. Honor, glory, sacrifice. Related works: none.
PROMPT THREE: Cruel - MCU & Venom A Simple “Thank You” Eddie and Peter escape from weeks of torture, only to find that something is wrong with Peter. It’s up to Eddie to take care of the teenage superhero while they wait for Stark to show up. Related works: none.
PROMPT FOUR: Water/Fire - Avatar: The Last Airbender Pilot Zumo has lived his whole life in secret, training with Azula for the day they would be required to join the war effort with their father. He expected an eventual coronation and a lifetime spent on the battlefield; he didn’t expect to stumble upon an untrained Avatar. Now, it’s up to him and Azula to get Aang to a water bending teacher. But are there any good waterbenders left in the world? (Reverse AU) Related works: (see prompt 27)
PROMPT FIVE: Dark - Original Work Dungeons Audeen has finally found Theo, but the real culprit behind his kidnapping takes her by surprise... Related works: Loss of Wings (see prompt 17), (see prompt 26), and The Lionheart: Honor
PROMPT SIX: Formal - Detroit: Become Human Medal of Honor Hank is awarded the Medal of Honor, and Connor couldn’t be prouder. The night goes as smoothly as can be expected. That is, until the lights go out. When Connor wakes, a few questions instantly come to mind: How could he have been kidnapped from a hall full of officers? What did these apparent low-level criminals want with a state-of-the-art prototype like him? How long was he unconscious for? Why hadn’t he been rescued yet? Related works: Scars of Valor (see prompt 13)
PROMPT SEVEN: Hands - Detroit: Become Human & Alita: Battle Angel Bleed and Break RK800 is the racer for illegal fights, RK900 is the racer for the legal ones. That’s just how it is - it’s how it’s always been. However, when RK800 is bester by the new racer, North, he discovers that might not be the case. Who is “Hank”? Who is “Markus”? Does he even know who he really is? Related works: Breaking Free (see prompt 11)
PROMPT EIGHT: Frail - MCU With A Vengeance Tony is on a manhunt, searching for whoever took Peter. Thinking Steve Rogers and his gang in Brooklyn are to blame, he set out on a warpath only to find that Rogers doesn’t have anything to do with it. Tony is left with nothing. No leads, no theories, no clues...nothing, and Peter is running out of time. (Mafia AU) Related works: Speaking Isn’t Easy (see prompt 1)
PROMPT NINE: Garden - Detroit: Become Human Overheating When Connor wakes with a fever, Hank takes it upon himself to try and take care of a sick android.  Of course, he has no idea how to do that, and Connor is no ordinary android. Is there something more serious going on? Related works: none.

PROMPT TWELVE: Treasure - Detroit: Become Human Fallen in a Forest Hank was sad to see Connor move out of his home and into an apartment with his girlfriend, but they had four years together. And besides, Connor insists that he’ll visit all the time. He never does, and when he starts acting strangely, Hank takes it upon himself to try and figure out what’s going on. But maybe he’s imagining things - after all, Connor says that he’s fine, and Wendy seems nice enough... Something in his gut tells him to not let it go, and he didn’t become the youngest Lieutenant in Detroit history by ignoring his gut instinct. Related works: none.
PROMPT THIRTEEN: Loss/Reunion - Detroit: Become Human Scars of Valor Connor’s been missing for five days, but finally, the DPD manage to locate him. Hank demands to be allowed on the rescue mission, but he can’t shake the feeling Connor might be broken beyond repair. He just hopes he isn’t too late. Related works: Medal of Honor (see prompt 6)

okay so now it’s not 2am, here’s an expansion of that Magnifi shooting Thalassa theory that I was going on about yesterday, and where I think they May have been planning on taking the AA4 storyline. readmore-ing it because I ramble
there’s a theory somewhere that Troupe Gramarye is a front for the mafia and honestly I think that’s where they were going. there was an emphasis on organised crime in AA4, and up to this point, Ace Attorney was pretty good at not just bringing things in and throwing them aside. not only were the Kitakis present, but the back room in the Borscht Bowl Club was said to have been used by the mob, too. that in consideration, I’m gonna assume that Magnifi had mafia connections, and I’m going to disregard Jove and say that Apollo was born from a Romeo and Juliet (or, West Side Story, I guess) type situation with another mob family, hence his father not being present. maybe he’s dead, I doubt he’s that important....... unless he’s Valant. but that’s a stretch and I’m not going anywhere near that (yet)
anyway.
I’m disregarding my own previous Gavin parents headcanon, now, and throwing it out there that they were private investigators, hired by. someone. to look into the shit with Troupe Gramarye and, specifically, Magnifi. they got friendly with the other magicians, and, after Magnifi found they were getting too close, he had one of them killed. the other was framed for the murder, and sentenced to death because of it, bribery and fake evidence definitely coming into play. more on them and how that affected the boys... maybe in another post, because this is about the Gramaryes. during the rehearsal, Magnifi shoots Thalassa in order to have material with which to blackmail Valant and Zak. he’s able to keep control over them, and what they say, until his death. he asks them both to shoot him in a power play, but shoots himself, the same way he shot his daughter, leading to both men blaming the other until the truth comes to light.
...........Kristoph was playing the long game with Zak. Kristoph has definitely had dealings with the mob before, and, while I don’t think for a second that he’s the kind of person to give enough of a shit about his parents like that, I do think there’s the possibility that they were involved in... something a little deeper than the investigating, something that’d completely destroy the family’s reputation if it came to light. and Kristoph himself likely got involved in it, too. if we assume that Kristoph has been paranoid about this since he learned it, and definitely throughout his legal career, there was an element of cat and mouse with him and Zak. killed a man with a bottle because he was an evil human being? nah. he killed a man with a bottle because it would destroy everything if said man spoke out.
that last paragraph is something I came up with just now. anyway enjoy,

Lad’s In Distress
Orphan Brigade [Baby Years]: The story of how an infamous crime lord became the guardian of three children and a teenager.
[Trigger Warnings: Guns, violence, murder, kidnapping, fire]
The boys were all around the age of ten the first time they were kidnapped.
They had been taken by a mob boss who wanted to teach Geoff a lesson. Gavin was scared, Ray was apathetic and Michael…?
Michael was pissed.
“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” He snarled as he struggled against the ropes which bound his wrists together. “Do you know who we are? Geoff and Jack are going to find us. And they’re going to fucking kill you.” He spat at the man unfortunate enough to be guarding the three lads.
The guard quickly reached the end of his patience. Fed up with the young boys ravings, he reached out to slap Michael across the face with an unnecessary amount of force.
“Micoo…” Gavin whimpered.
“I’m fine Gav.” Michael assured him, spitting out the blood which had pooled in his mouth. “I really hope Geoff kills this one first though.
While Michael had distracted their guard, Ray had managed to slide his bound hands into the pocket of his hoodie to extract the pen knife which he used to weaken the ropes to the point where he could use his phone. Keeping his hands behind his back so that he would still appear to be a captive, Ray silently texted Geoff, telling him exactly where they were. He wasn’t sure if he was hitting any of the right buttons, but at least Geoff would know that they were okay.
***
“7 Eddies away.” Ryan read with an arched eyebrow. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
“No fucking clue.” Geoff growled with an air of frustration. “I don’t hear from the little pricks in two days and his is the first thing I get from them?”
“Ray mustn’t have been able to use his phone properly.” Jack stated, musing over the cryptic message. “Lines up with our theory that they’ve been taken by someone.”
“At least now we know they’re alive?” Ryan suggested optimistically.
“No.” Geoff sighed. “All we know for sure is that someone has Rays’ phone. He might not be the one who sent whatever the hell this is supposed to be.”
“Let me see that again.” Ryan took the phone from Geoff and copied Rays’ message onto the back of his hand. “I’ll see what I can do.” He nodded, taking his laptop and moving to the lads’ room for privacy.
Jack looked across at Geoff who was clenching his fists angrily. “We’re going to make them pay for this.” She assured him.
Geoff glowered in response. “Damn straight we are.”
***
The lads had developed their own code over the years, almost like a secret language. They had learnt early on how to get around the watchful eyes of Geoff and Jack and had developed ways to communicate their plans with each other, even when the adults were in the room. So when Ray said “It’s a shame Vav isn’t here.” Gavin knew that Ray needed them to cause a distraction.
The Brit immediately doubled over, complaining very loudly of a stomach ache.
“What’s wrong with that one?” The guard asked with a disgruntled expression.
“He’s super ill.” Michael informed him, faking a concerned expression when he looked over at Gavin. “Weak British tummy and all that, you know? He might barf actually.”
As the guard knelt down in front of Gavin to examine his condition (his boss would kill him if anything happened to their hostages), Ray finished freeing his hands and quickly moved to cut the ropes around Michaels wrist. As the guard stood, the two boys quickly moved back so that the man wouldn’t notice any difference. They tried not to laugh as Gavin made a fantastically well-rehearsed variety of gagging noises.
“You should really get him a doctor or something.” Ray stated, keeping his voice calm and casual.
“My job is to stay here and guard the three of you.”
“And how’s that gonna work out for you when Gavin pukes all over the floor?” Michael questioned. “You gonna clean it up or just learn to live with the smell? You might as well go get him a medic. It’s not like we’re going to go anywhere. We’re just three little kids man! With our hands tied up! What are we going to do? There’s like an army of gangsters out there. We’re not dumb. We’ll stay here where we’re safe.”
“…Don’t move a muscle.” The guard warned, dashing out of the room and leaving the door wide open in his haste.
“Dumb fuck.” Michael laughed triumphantly as he stood. “Let’s go!” He grabbed Gavin and started to run.
“Untie me!” Gavin yelped as he was dragged away,
“No time.” Ray informed him as they ran through the deserted corridor into the unknown.
***
“Edwood Way!” Ryan exclaimed as he emerged from the lads’ room.
“Excuse me?” Geoff arched an eyebrow as he looked up.
“Number seven, Edwood Way.” Ryan stated. “That’s where the boys are!”
“You’re certain?” Jack asked anxiously.
“Yeah! Ray must have gotten screwed over by autocorrect. Edwood became Eddie. That address is supposed to be where the Silvio mafia have their new safe house. They must be the ones who have the boys.”
“Let’s go.” Geoff stated, grabbing a many guns as he could carry and leading the way out of the apartment.

“Really Geoff?” Ryan questioned as they approached the vehicle. “A monster truck?”
“Shut up.” Geoff pouted, climbing into the driver’s seat. “I thought it would be cool for Sunday driving.”
“Yeah. This is great.” Ryan stated dryly. “Super discreet. I’m sure the mobsters will never see us coming.”

It didn’t take long for Gavin to get captured again. Michael had to admit, they probably should have stopped to untie the boys hands. A mass of muscled mobster held the gangly boy in one arm, holding a knife to his throat with the other.
What the man didn’t know was that the trio had already knocked out two of his colleagues and were now armed with pistols. When Michael saw blood start to drip from Gavin’s neck, he had no hesitation in pulling the gun out and shooting the man’s leg. As their attacker collapsed to the ground, Ray caught Gavin and used his pen knife to remove the rope.
“It’s about bloody time.” Gavin huffed.
Michael looked down at the man who was screaming in pain, clinging to his injured leg. Knowing that anymore noise would alert the other mobsters to their location, Michael acted fast, pulling off his jacket and using it as a gag to silence the man.
“Gav. Take his weapons.” Michael instructed. “We’re going to need them.”

Geoff got lost a grand total of three times on the way to the boys. Each time he blamed the navigation system in his truck, but Jack knew that it was really down to nerves. It was hard to focus on the road ahead of them when imagining what was happening to their boys.
After what seemed like an eternity, they arrived at 7 Edwood Way to find the building in flames and Gavin, Michael and Ray stood on the sidewalk as though they were waiting to be picked up from school.
Geoff very haphazardly parked the truck and leapt out to meet his dishevelled boys. Half of Michaels face had turned a dark purple colour where it had been bruised; this discolouration was coupled with a black eye and blood dripping from his mouth. Gavin had a bloody bandage tied around his neck and bruised in the shape of fingerprints all over his arms. Ray’s clothing was slightly singed from the fire and there was a thin gash on his shoulder which was freely dripping with blood. All three boys had rope burns and dark bruises across their wrists from where they had been bound.
Geoff resolved to kill anyone who had hurt his babies, but as he looked up at the inferno he realized that the opportunity had most likely been robbed from him. So instead he grabbed the three boys, pulling them into a tight hug before ushering them into the monster truck and driving away before the cops showed up.
Jack quickly passed a first aid kit to the back seat so that Ryan could bandage the boys up while they drove.
“Anyone want to tell me what the fuck happened back there?” Geoff asked, struggling to keep his eyes on the road.
“We got kidnapped.” Ray stated simply as Ryan wrapped a bandage around his wounded shoulder.
“It was bad…” Gavin assed with a small nod, wincing as the action hurt his throat.
“But we kicked ass!” Michael beamed through what appeared to be broken teeth.
“…Good.” Geoff responded, feeling an odd mixture of worry and pride. “Let get you guys home.”
*** Geoff may have been content with the chaos which the boys had inflicted on the Silvio family, but Ryan certainly wasn’t. He managed to acquire a list of all of the members of the criminal family and check of all of those who had died at the hands of the boy’s fire. This left the members who had been hospitalized and those who had been away during the kidnapping. Ryan planned on showing no mercy to either. He pulled on his mask and walked out of the door, intent on showing the world exactly what happened when they hurt a member of the Fake AH crew.
